PROJECT DETAILS
Islamic Sulphonate Co. (ISC) management decided to establish continuous type manufacturing facility to produce 36 MTPD Linear Alkyl Sulphonic Acid. The necessity to establish the plant, comes from its demand for Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonate (LAS) or Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (referred as LABSA) for its other associated manufacturing facilities handling detergent manufacture. The project is being established to meet the captive demand for LABSA..
The main advantage of LAS / LABSA comes from its biodegradable characteristics and thereby has near completely replaced non linear BAS (Branched Alkylbenzene Sulfonate) in household detergents production facilities world over more so in throughout the developed countries.
ISC management has retained the services of Qatar Design Consortium (QDC) to carry out the baseline environmental study and prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study report.
In order to relate the existing environment with the proposed project activity, it was imperative to carry out detail evaluation of the baseline environmental characteristics including: Ambient air Quality, Noise Level, Soil Quality, and Groundwater quality. Applicable regulatory requirements were reviewed and compiled before commencing a structured and detailed baseline studies and a refined modelling analysis has been conducted using AERMOD.
